The voice of the natural world would be, Could you please give us space and leave us alone to get along with our own lives and our own ways, because we actually know much better how to do it then when you start interfering.
Jane Goodall
I don't spend that much time being introspective, believe it or not. All I know is that I grew up not questioning God because that's how you are. God was there like the birds and the wind.
Jane Goodall
You have to really care about what you say. And if you don't, it will never come out quite right, unless you go into acting, in which case you have to act fast before you realize it is something which you do not believe in.
Jane Goodall

Jane Goodall
If we do not do something to help these creatures, we make a mockery of the whole concept of justice.
Jane Goodall
War had always seemed to me to be a purely human behavior. Accounts of warlike behavior date back to the very first written records of human history it seemed to be an almost universal characteristic of human groups.
Jane Goodall
One individual cannot possible make a difference, alone. It is individual efforts, collectively, that makes a noticeable difference - all the difference in the world!
Jane Goodall
It's up to us to save the world for tomorrow: it's up to you and me.
Jane Goodall
I like some animals more than some people, some people more than some animals.
Jane Goodall
I am living in the Africa I have always longed for, always felt stirring in my blood.
Jane Goodall
I learnt from Flo how to be mother. Flo was patient, tolerant. She was supportive. She was always there. She was playful. She enjoyed having her babies, as good mothers do.
Jane Goodall
Above all we must realize that each of us makes a difference with our life. Each of us impacts the world around us every single day. We have a choice to use the gift of our life to make the world a better place - or not to bother
Jane Goodall
I believe that the tragedy [like terror attack] that's caused so much grief and suffering to so many thousands and thousands of people has also served as a call to action, because many people now are re-examining their own value systems, and the churches, temples, mosques and cathedrals are packed to overflowing for the first time in years.
Jane Goodall
Well, in some ways we're not successful at all. We're destroying our home. That's not a bit successful.
